Django Rest Framework (DRF) is powerful, sophisticated, and surprisingly easy to use. It offers an attractive, web browseable version of your API, and the option of returning raw JSON. The Django Rest Framework provides powerful model serialization, display data using standard function based views, or get granular with powerful class based views for more complex functionality. All in a fully REST compliant wrapper.
Working With Serialization
One powerful feature of the Django Rest Framework is the built in model serialization it offers. With just a few lines of code you can compose powerful representations of your data that can be delivered in a number of formats.

创建 models
# base/models.py
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
from django.db import models
class Author(models.Model):
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
def __unicode__(self):
return '{} {}'.format(self.first_name, self.last_name)
class Book(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
isbn = models.CharField(max_length=20)
author = models.ForeignKey(Author, related_name='books')
def __unicode__(self):
return self.title

```
##### 创建 serializer
```
# base/serializers.py
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
from rest_framework import serializers
from .models import Author
class AuthorSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
"""
Serializing all the Authors
"""
class Meta:
model = Author
fields = ('id', 'first_name', 'last_name')
```
##### 通过 shell 查看序列化数据
```
>>> from base.models import Author
>>> from base.serializers import AuthorSerializer
>>> author = Author.objects.get(pk=1)
>>> serialized = AuthorSerializer(author)
>>> serialized.data
{'first_name': u'Andy', 'last_name': u'Matthews', 'id': 1}
```
##### Web Browseable API
```
# base/views.py
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
from rest_framework.generics import ListAPIView
from .models import Author
from .serializers import AuthorSerializer
class AuthorView(ListAPIView):
"""
Returns a list of all authors.
"""
queryset = Author.objects.all()
serializer_class = AuthorSerializer
```
```
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
from django.conf.urls import url
from .views import AuthorView
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^authors/$', AuthorView.as_view(), name='author-list'),
]
```

#### Giving the Authors Some Books!
在 `AuthorSerializer` 之前添加 `BookSerializer`:
```
class BookSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
"""
Serializing all the Books
"""
class Meta:
model = Book
fields = ('id', 'title', 'isbn')
```
修改 `AuthorSerializer`:
```
class AuthorSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
"""
Serializing all the Authors
"""
books = BookSerializer(many=True)
class Meta:
model = Author
fields = ('id', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'books')
```
